Historical aspects of the development of customs clearance on maritime transport

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the historiography of maritime transport and customs clearance. The historical aspects of the development of customs clearance in maritime transport are covered. The origin of shipbuilding and the development of navigation are analyzed, and it is indicated that in the process the customs for the transportation of goods through foreign territory were approved. The same customs in the form of duties were established in the courts. In practice, the duty in its economic essence served not so much as a tax as a levy, so it was paid not from the goods, but for the right of people to enter this territory.
